Levy of Penalty u/s 129(3) of the Central Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017 - Errors in e-way bills - The Court emphasized that minor typographical errors in e-way bills, without additional evidence indicating an intention to evade tax, should not lead to penalty imposition. It highlighted a precedent where a similar typographical error was deemed insignificant, emphasizing that such errors do not necessarily imply tax evasion.
